  2. 1. Utility of bispectral index (BIS) monitoring during general anesthesia

    Author : Maj-Lis Lindholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The possibility to objectively measure effects from anesthetics on the level of consciousness has since long been desired. General anesthetics cause changes in brain electrical activity, seen as changes in the electroencephalogram (EEG). READ MORE

  4. 2. Novel neurophysiological monitors of the transition from wakefulness to loss of consciousness during anaesthesia

    Author : Gunilla Barr; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : EEG; BI-spectral index; AEP; propofol; sevoflurane; awareness;

    Abstract : Background: The concept of adequate anaesthesia is not easily defined. One important component of anaesthesia is the suppression of wakefulness, that is, a patient who does not experience sensory input such as hearing, vision, and feeling of pain. READ MORE

  5. 3. Hypnosis monitoring during general anaesthesia : with focus on awareness

    Author : Andreas Ekman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Hypnosis monitoring; electroencephalogram; BIS; AAI; neuromuscular block;

    Abstract : An objective measure of the hypnotic component of general anaesthesia has been sought for decades. The electroencephalogram (EEG) was early recognized as a possible useful intraoperative monitor when the effects of anaesthetic drugs on human EEG recordings were noted. READ MORE

  6. 4. Pharmacometric Models in Anesthesia and Analgesia
